The generator transforms mechanical energy to electrical energy by rotating a wired coil within a magnetic field.
The mechanical energy is from steam in nuclear and combustion reactors (oil, gas coal). In hydro and wind power, it is from rotating turbines.

∙ 11y agoIn a generator running on fossil fuels, chemical energy is converted to heat energy through the combustion of fuel. The heat energy is then converted to kinetic energy in the prime mover. The kinetic energy is again converted to electrical energy through the principle of electromagnetic induction inside the alternator.

What energy conversions occur for an electric motor?
It helps to think about the purpose of an electric motor. It is designed to move things, so it produces mechanical energy. As the name suggests, such a motor gets its energy from electrical energy.
What are three energy conversions that might occur in a power plant?
I think is a fuel in a substance that provides to form of energy such as heat, light, electricity, or motion as the result of a chemical change.
